VOTE FOR SMOKING IN STUDENT ROOMS

At the Senate Meeting on Thursday evening, March 17, the new smoking regulations were passed with one dis- senting vote. It was decided to call a mass-meeting of the college on Friday afternoon at which the regulations would be explained. President Pen- ; dleton and Mary Elizabeth Wheeler spoke at the meeting.

The new rules, which will go into effect on April 12, are as follows:

until the end of the year smoking shall be permitted in students' rooms in all brick dor- mitories on the campus, between the hours of 6:45 A. M. and 10 P. M. In Craiojord, Freeman, and Norum- bega, smoking shall be permitted in the living rooms after meals, under the same regulations as in freshman houses, if the house so votes.

The Women's Educational and In- dustrial Union, to which the Emer- gency Relief Committee voted $400, is a Boston organization of long standing. During the present crisis it has en- larged its usual field of endeavor to include unemployment relief for wo- men, more especially for those mem- bers of the "white collar" class, who through no fault of their own are forced to seek aid, and yet whose pride prevents them from accepting actual charity from such organizations as the Family Welfare Society.

The college department has given financial and vocational information to over six thousand high school and college graduates, and has secured po- sitions for some of these applicants. Since the need has become increasing- ly acute, this service has been rendered free of charge during the last few months.

The general employment bureau has devised a scheme, which is made pos- sible through gifts, whereby temporary employment can be given immediately if circumstances warrant it. Positions are created, and for two weeks salaries are drawn from the sinking fund. Meanwhile, effort is made to secure permanent employment for the in- dividuals.

The meetings opened Friday evening with a lecture by Everett Dean Martin Dn The Objectives of a Liberal Educa- tion. Dr. Martin, who is at present the head of the People's Institute in New York, is a noted figure in the develop- ment of adult education in America.

In introducing his subject, Dr. Mar- tin defined education as a life-long process of learning in which that part received in college is only a prepara- tion for later work. Thus adult edu cation, which is so often confused with the work of educators to uplift the masses, is in reality nothing more than the continuance of a study whose tools have been provided by courses in col- lege. A person must be eager to learn

ONCE upon a time Perry believed that only Tired Business Men were privileged to do what mental ' Hygiene books chidingly call "taking , your troubles to bed," and mentally j romping around with bulls and bears; | now, however, he has learned that artists never allow themselves to for- get their art. After dress rehearsal for Dance Drama, one of the graceful young creatures wandered home, to bed, and to sleep, still thinking of the dance (with a reading and speaking accent). Then, still asleep, out of bed she floated and began flitting about her room until, unfortunately, she chose a chair as her partner. The chair, at that hour of the night, must have preferred to lead, for she suddenly awoke to find herself sprawled on the floor, and the chair the possessor of some two square inches of her skin. No wonder the first dance the savages invented was a war dance, Perry reflects.

THE fire hazard— that dread demon of smokers in Wellesley for years —was met by a freshman, who, alas, was rewarded with a mild dose of

"Genius unappreciated," she moaned. Not so long ago. in the days before smoking in dormitories was le- galized, one student was discovered in the forbidden act. "But," she com- plained, "I was smoking in the bath tub and certainly there couldn't be danger of fire there!"

PERRY is sincerely apologetic. Nothing could be more foreign to his nature than to wound the feelings of anyone— and especially of one of his masculine cohorts around campus. He has learned that Sandy Campbell resented having his conversation with the robins recorded. "I wish people would stop inquiring into my affairs," Sandy said with righteous indignation. "Why, last year when I caught a pound bass in the lake, that was in Perry. Now, you know that's silly. Anybody could catch a pound bass if they'd just stand still." Of course the real reason was envy and sheer, un- adulterated jealousy, because Perry isn't a remarkably successful fisher- self from taking Sandy's name in vain.

The second Round Table Discussion under Dr. Martin took up the ques- tion of curriculum from the viewpoint of the alumnae.

In other words modern colleges are failing to keep intellectually abreast with the modern world and its needs. Dr. Martin pointed out that the question was far-reaching and that its answer lay not in the adjustment which will be made the day after graduation but in the civilization which could be ac- quired before the age of senility.

The Third Round Table was con- cerned with the use of the college equipment during the summer. Sug- gestions were made for its use by something in which the college would assume actual responsibility. No prac- tical details concerning finances were considered but were left for future

The first suggestion was that Wel- lesley might fin additional graduates, a course that would give academic credit. The next suggestion was for an informal type of education that would not aim at credit, but might include a collection of classes for enrichment, to give an oppor- tunity to both men and women in va- rious fields, such as a forum on inter- national relations, the creative arts, or the present economic situation.

MOVING AGAIN

Whether or not this protest thus comes too late, I should like to put in an emphatic word against it. In last week's News there were two Free Presses on this subject. I should like to ask "One of a Crowd of Six" whether she would have felt the same when she first planned to move up on campus?

At any rate, the pain o: forced choosing and dividing will not be a pleasant memory, and might- forgive the sentimentality— go far to wreck a very happy group of budding friendships. I will not deny, of course, that these girls might find just as close friends among other girls— but to make them risk a present certainty for a fu- ture possibility is rather

The symphonic poem, Desoriente. suggested by Matthew Arnold's Stanzas from the Grande Chartreuse, overcame the disheartening effect of a feeble be- ginning by a brilliant second move- ment, and adequate third, and an appropriate and effective ending. Avowedly, Desoriente was worked out according to symphonic convention, but in terms of motion, unhampered by musical composition, assisted only by a simple percussion pattern. The first movement, largo religioso, was too long. Technically it balanced the rest of the symphony; artistically its length was unjustified the material was too slight.

The adagio tranquillo and allegro con brio of the second, movement pro- vided the aesthetic thrill of the eve- ning, in beautifully balanced movement

tag, both in design and color, was handled with acute sensitivity to group value. The Machine Age of the third movement, in conventionally grotesque costume, was redeemed by refreshing and effective simplicity of motion. As Youth's Theme, Pauline Westcott, who overstrained the exuberant spirit of youth by bouncing too much in the first movement, distinguished herself by the sympathetic restraint of the

The bagatelles and interpretations winch succeeded the symphonic poem pleased by their spontaneity, so mark- edly in contrast to the studied beauty of Desoriente. The Little White Donkey amused the audience tremen- dously; Norwegian Peasaiit Dance, with the combination of Grieg's music and the performers' joie de vivre, brought down the house; after Tweedledum and Tweedledee the audience just sat and laughed wholeheartedly. The Giddy Girl was obscured by a puzzling complexity of interpretation, but Co- quette, offered by the same dancer, Dorothy Wood, was handled with a linesse reminiscent of Angna Enters.

Ase's Death gave the same distin- guished combination of color and mo- tion which marked the second move- ment of the symphony. Fog and Valse, through trite in theme, were adequate- ly presented.

The River's Song was startling. It turned out to be a choral chant ac- i dance rather than an

sistance. Interesting as an experiment nevertheless.

The Fruehlingsstimme was much more charming and delightful than the name would indicate. The dancers were not self-conscious or engrossed in the technicalities of the work. They sent us all away in a good humor, pleased with ourselves and them and the whole Dance Drama.

T. Z. E. STUDIO RECEPTION

On Saturday evening, March 19, at Alumnae Hall, Tau Zeta Epsilon pre- sented a Studio Reception, this year for the benefit of the Unemployed Re- lief Fund. As is the custom at the Studio Receptions, the society present- ed a series of pictures with living models, illustrating their work for the year. This year the series showed the development of French painting since the 15th century. All the pictures were done with a careful

tume made it seem as if it were the original. Each fold in the gorgeous car- dinal's robe must have been carefully studied. The Watteau Lecon de Musi- que, the Pragonard Inspiration, and the portrait of the Comte d'Espagnac by Vigee le Brun all showed great atten- :h made them especially charming. The two 15th

et St. Stephan after Fouquet and La Vierge qui adore V Enfant after the Maitre de Moulins were most delicately attempted. The detail from the Ber- gers Arcadie by Poussin captured that artist's background treatment and the classical simplicity of his figures. The Cruche Cassee after Greuze was a charming picture, though not entirely fulfilling the spirit of the original. One of the most interesting attempts was the copy of La Loge by Renoir. It is, of course, practically impossible to copy the shimmering pinks and grays of the original and to achieve the vagueness of outline with actual human figures. Considering this, the resemblance to the charm of the original was remark- able.

On the whole the presentation was splendid in the way in which it showed careful work and really loving study. After viewing the exhibition we can safely say that the society obviously achieved a great understanding of French art in their work this year.

PLAY PRODUCTION

The small but receptive audience fortunate enough or perhaps wise enough to attend the three one-act plays presented by the Play Produc- tion Class on the evening of March 15 was well rewarded for its interest. Miss Smaill's apologies for the natural crudities of the work of the class were scarcely needed since the exceptional sets and delicate understanding of the actresses certainly obscured any slight lack of smoothness or finish resulting from limitations of time and materials. Also to its credit is the experimenting spirit of the class in bringing to their fche Harvard Dramatic Asso- Shaw's Man of Destiny, an

by the college.

Although the sight of a masculine figure in the uniform and the sound of a really gruff voice were treats to the Wellesley audience, not all the success of the plays goes to Harvard. The first two plays, by F. Sladen Smith, The Crown of Saint Felice and The Sacred Cat, with light debunking irony combined with fantastic sets and charming costumes of vague date and period, were well chosen for the dra- matic capacity of a group of girls where deft interpretation rather than inten-

WELLESLE Y COLL

sity of emotion was required. Particu- larly pleasing was the lone palm tree in The Sacred Cart that bent over the benches in an angle ancient and mod- ernistic. Martha Young as St. Felice, whose greatest joy in heaven was the memory of her good temper on earth, i played her part with nice shadings! breaking though her dreamy lethargy j in an heroic loss of temper at the im- ! pudent mortals who insult her memory by forgetfulness. The cast of The Sa- cred Cat was small, each member con- tributing equally to its effect— Janet Hill as the clumsy boy emulating the "man about Thebes," Virginia Street as the coquettish girl playing inno- cent, and Mary Thyne as the pom- due laurels go to the unknown actress who meowed so enthusiastically in truly cattish tones whenever a lie was told.

With its satire on England and col- onization, its salient lines on existing social evils, The Man of Destiny as a play was typically Shavian. Bernard Meyer was excellent as Napoleon, ruth- lessly ambitious yet keenly aware of and appreciative of courage in others. The part of Giuseppi, the garrulous, fawning innkeeper, was well handled by Charles Sedgwick.

As a whole the class gave a perform- ance that was diverting and marked by good acting and original production. Barn had best looked to her laurels with such talent loose in Wellesley's rhf'ati icul world.
